The Republic and The Laws Student Guide

Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman statesman from the first century B.C., was convinced that the upright moral life was the happier life. "The Republic" became the blueprint of the U.S. government almost 2,000 years after it was written. In "The Laws," Cicero defends his understanding of the upright moral life and becomes the first person outside of Scripture to ever posit the existence of natural law. Studying such perennial works is a boon to everyone.
